One of the best ways to keep students motivated is to give them something rewarding to work to accomplish. 

I work on the front half of our training courses and what I have learned from this lesson is that when it comes to learning, it is important that the student knows there is no right or wrong way to learn and that every person will learn differently and it is their choice on how they go about learning. I also learned that it is important that a student understands that they are learning and it is important to reinforce the fact that they are retaining information by asking open ended questions and quizzing on a regular basis.
